The fly-on-the-wall documentary about Monaghan teenager Daire Gorman has won a national award. "What Daire Did Next" was filmed over 6 months and showed how Daire, who has Crommelin Syndrome navigate life in a wheelchair as he transferred to secondary school, attended hospital appointments and trained for a soccer tournament.
